recovery

Hi Guys! Hopefully someone could help me out with my issue.. Our DS918+ had been accidentally dropped down (physically) because of a human mistake from the desk it had been located during the initial install. The two HDDs, composing the Volume 1 (RAID 1) suffered almost unrecoverable damage...

Occasionally I get asked if I can recover data from failing portable hard disks, but as a Mac user, I'm finding data recovery tools are somewhat lacking for Apple Silicon and current MacOS. I was wondering if there was something that may run on the NAS akin to ddrescue on Linux, or any disc...

I am getting the message "Windows ADK configuration files missing" when creating recovery media, even though I have downloaded in installed the ADK. How can I build a recovery USB stick? Thanks in advance. Steve

Hi everyone. First post here on Synoforum so hope this is the right spot. I have a DS916+ which had 4x 4TB drives in a Raid 5 config. I purchased 4x 8TB drives to upgrade the system as was at 92% of capacity. So was going to simply just replace one drive at a time and let system rebuild but...

I just got a DS920+ a couple days ago. For home I am deciding between these two solutions but I am not sure which one is better to use? I simply want to backup my computers (Windows) to my 920+ and also have the ability for bare metal restores if needed. I generally see Veeam as being the best...

I was using the Recovery media creator in DSM 7 today and noticed a glitch that may throw off a newbie. Seems that when it finishes writing the USB recovery media, Windows pops open it's media format window, "hit cancel.". Just thought it may help a newbie. Also reported it to Synology who...

Hi guys, I'm looking to get a synology nas as a small file server and backup target in a SOHO environment. I've been looking at Hyper back up and using backblaze as a cloud storage provider. Is hyperback up enough to do a full bare metal recovery from total drive(s) failure? For example, if...

I thought this was going to be a genius idea, but I have quickly found it may not even work - unless the power of collective (Synoforum) knowledge can help me achieve my goal. ;) Setup NAS1 (Master): RS812+ with 4x 2TB SHR providing 6TB storage NAS2 (Local backup only): DS718+ with 1x6TB - no...

Hello, I've lurked here a little while but I just signed up to ask a question.... Has anyone succeeded in installing & running wifi drivers with usb recovery media? I'm testing bare metal recovery of a couple of systems and I can load the wifi drivers manually - but the internet options page...

TL;DR: "How do I mount/open a vdisk for a VM that doesn't boot?" I want to access files directly from inside the vdisk without it running the VM that was on it. I don't care if I have to access it from Synology NAS CLI or if I have to copy the vdisk image to my local machine to do so. More...
